Re: Auditory Integration Therapy July 10-19 in Houston-San

[Guest guest]

Regarding San , you might want to check these practitioners.

This comes from the list at Autism Research Institute - an old list.

A new practitioner website and list is soon to be launched. I would

be sure that it's Berard AIT and that the practitioner uses the

Berard protocol and is Berard certified. Anyone can be on the ARI

site - not necessarily Berard folks. Good luck to you, Diane.

Scoville

PS -Interested Houston-area parents may wish to see the AIT post made

earlier today entitled per subject line - AIT coming to eastern

Houston suburb for small number of children.
